Rückansicht des Fuji vom Minobu-Fluss
circa 1830-1832
Hokusai's 'Back View of Fuji from the Minobu River' offers a rare glimpse of Japan's most famous mountain from an unusual angle. Instead of the perfect cone we usually see, Mount Fuji peeks out from behind dramatic, jagged cliffs, almost playing hide-and-seek with the viewer. Below, a procession of travelers and pack horses trudges along a winding path, dwarfed by the massive landscape and swirling clouds. Created around 1830 as part of his legendary 'Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji' series, this woodblock print showcases the artist's genius for composition and his deep love for the iconic peak.
